Discs with a
cyanine dye reflective layer have a shorter lifespan than discs using phthalocyanine-based dye.
Although information is less accessible regarding the dye type used in DVD recordable media, it is believed that DVD-R media use a modified form of stabilized
Cyanine dye for the recording layer.
Cyanine dye labeling reagents: sulfoindocyanine, succinimidyl esters.
To achieve the optimum recording layer for DVD-R, TDK has modified the metal-stabilized
cyanine dye used in its CD-R discs.
The fluorophores for NIR imaging had been typically limited to the general class of
cyanine dyes such as indocyanine green.
My recent work has shown that PALM-like imaging of DNA can achieve a spatial resolution below 40 nm by using intercalating
cyanine dyes in combination with a buffer that promotes photo-blinking.
To assess the stability of the
cyanine dyes relative to the instrument stability, a homogeneous fluorescent material, SRM 2242, was incorporated into the study.
2002) and artificial pigment
cyanine dyes (Kogure et al.
Wu, now at Stanford University Medical School, investigated
cyanine dyes, a class of light-sensitive compounds used in photography.
The intercalating dye ethidium bromide, which had been used to demonstrate the concept of real-time PCR, was soon replaced with asymmetric
cyanine dyes that were less inhibitory to the PCR (6).
In collaboration with Idaho Technology, we synthesized and characterized >30 asymmetric
cyanine dyes.
